Chp 18: Introductions and a scorch mark

Disclaimer: Don't feel creative right now. I don't own Inuyasha.

YAY! *does little happy dance* I am getting so much feed back on my Char/Inu x-over! YES! Anyway, I have been getting comments on what the pairing of my story will be. Well, here is what I have to say,

WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR ANYWAY? I HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT! (..eheheh..Inuyasha quote.) Of course this is going to be a Sess/Kag! Sheesh! Whydya think I've been suggesting so many good Sess/Kag fics to you? My story will be Sess/Kag! As will my Char/Inu x-over! Thank you for your lovely reviews, they have been very helpful. *bows to reviewers and readers* Even if you don't review, thanx for reading my story! This chappy is short, sry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Kagome told Yuka and Eri she needed to go out alone. When she came back, they got the surprise of they're life...

Kagome lifted up her shirt to show them the tattoo on her stomach. It was a blue crescent moon with a silver dragon wrapped around it; The tattoo was big enough to go around her belly button.

After they got over the initial shock, they thought it looked cool.

Yuka and Eri decided to call they're houses and tell them they were okay. Yuka and Eri had bad news when they got off the phone.

"Kagome, my parents got a call saying that if they didn't tell Hikari where we were they would get killed, the same with Eri." Said Yuka.

Kagome thought about it for a minute and came to a decision. 'I don't like this idea, but if I don't want them killed, it's my only choice.'

"Yuka, Eri. Go to your houses and pack. Your families are going to the sengoku jidai with me. It's the only way to keep you guys away from Hikari until I kill him."

Kagome got open-mouthed stares from the two girls. "What?"

Yuka and Eri just shook they're heads and put they're shoes on. They went with Kagome to they're houses, packed, told their parents about the whole Kagome ordeal, and went back to the shrine.

Souta had packed, a lot.

He has packed the essentials, which included; Gameboy, manga, cd player, cd's, a lot of batteries, (Ya know the deal with Kagome 's batteries should have died a long time ago? She packed a whole bunch of batteries with her, and she can re-charge some of them with her miko power.) Pocky, chocolate, candy in general, ramen, and the other things he found that he might need, and then of course, the non-essentials, socks, toothbrush, clothes, and the like.

Kagome told them all about the dangers of demons and all that. Of course, they were the ones who had to listen to Kagome's grandpa when he was younger, so, they weren't that surprised.

Kagome took them one by one into the sengoku jidai. She gave one last goodbye to her mother and grandpa.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back mom?" asked Kagome.

Aiko smiled. "Yes, I'm sure. Besides, my place is here, and someone needs to look after your grandfather. I'm sure you'll visit when you can. Bye Kagome dear." She gave Kagome a hug and sent her on her way.

"Bye Ji-Chan! I'll brings you back plenty of artifacts!" she hopped down the well and back out in the feudal era. She had given the two families kimonos and stuff to wear so they didn't look, strange.

"Okay, you guys, I can't exactly, take you with me. The youkai that I live with, sorta, despises humans. So, I'm going to have you stay in a village not far from here with my friends. I'm going to tell her that you're from the future, but she will tell other people that you are from a different village. I'm going to give you a connection spell that will allow you to use the well to travel back to the future. Whatever you do, don't use reference to future things, expressions, and anything that might give away that you are from a different time period. And stay away from Inuyasha. He isn't here today, but he comes here often. My friends, Sango and Miroku, they will be here shortly. Don't mess around with the woman who is always around Inuyasha either. I will try to visit at least once a week. Got all this?" she said to all of them.

Her answer was nods from everyone.

"Oh! And one more thing, if you happen to see a demon that has an appendage that is cute or fuzzy, don't hug it. I'll bring you to the village now."

Kagome told Kaede about everything and she complied. Kagome said her goodbyes and went on her way. She was flying with Souta to Sesshoumaru's castle when she spotted Inuyasha fighting a demon just outside the western lands. She masked they're scent and aura and made a nosedive to hide in a tree so she could watch the fight.

It was a rather large, serpent that had three shards. Thus making its skin very hard to cut through, even with the Tetsusaiga. Kikyou couldn't get a good shot in because it was moving too fast.

Kagome watched as Inuyasha dodged all the attacks of the serpent, and the serpent deflect all the attacks given by Inuyasha. Inuyasha was knocked into a tree by a blow from the serpents tail. Tetsusaiga was knocked from his hand. He jumped up and ran to his sword but was knocked to the ground by the serpents tail again. He jumped away just in time to avoid getting flattened.

'I think he bit off more than he could chew this time.' Thought Kagome.

Now all Inuyasha was doing was dodge. He didn't have Tetsusaiga, so that wasn't a good thing.

Kagome noticed the change in Inuyasha's scent and decide to put a stop to the fight. She put a stunning spell on Souta so it would be like he was asleep, and pulled out her athemaes. She jumped down from the tree, and spread them out so they were the fans and crossed them over her chest as she purified them. She threw them like Frisbees and they went blurring through the air. The burnt some of the serpents flesh, but didn't pierce it.

She threw a green fireball at it and attacked it with her claws, she managed to cut through the skin due to her potent poison.

Inuyasha was confused. 'Why the hell is she helping me?'

Kagome drew her sword and sent a powerful blast of miko energy at it while slicing at its head in a downward arc.

The serpent's headless carcass flopped to the ground.

Kagome flung the Tetsusaiga at Inuyasha using telekinesis. Inuyasha caught it reflexively and it controlled his demon blood.

Inuyasha snapped out of his confusion and glared at Kagome. "Bitch! What'd you do that for? I didn't need your help! I was doing fine!"

Kagome ignored Inuyasha as she picked up the jewel shards. "From what I saw, you were about to turn into a raving lunatic. Here are your shards." She flung the shards she had purified at Kikyou and flew off in the direction of Sesshoumaru's castle with Souta

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Along the way back to the castle, Kagome thought about what she was going to do with Hikari.

'Damn that bastard! The only way to get him off Yuka, Eri, and my back, is to kill him! I've got an idea...'

Kagome dropped Souta off at the front gate, and landed right on a balcony of the castle, she peeked in to see what room the balcony was connected to. It was dusk so, it was hard to see very much, she used her senses and, sensing no one in the room, opened the balcony door and crept in.

Her nose was immediately greeted with the scent of fern and lilies.

'Oh Shit! I just HAD to land on SESSHOUMARU'S balcony. She opened the door, and there stood Sesshoumaru, she glared at him and pushed past him grumbling about bad luck.

Sesshoumaru hadn't taken his eyes away from his room. He raised an eyebrow and smirked. He walked into his room and took off his armor. He retrieved a robe from his armoire and headed toward his private hot springs.

Kagome was still grumbling when she found Sango and Miroku. She was still in her black apparel, and so, she was an eyeful for the hentai.

"Why, Lady Kagome, you look, nice" *insert hentai thoughts here.*

WHACK!

Sango looked at a dazed Miroku before turning here eyes to Kagome. (she is in human form right now.) She looked at the tattoo and her eyes widened. 'So that's what Miroku was staring at besides her breasts..'

"Is that a tattoo?" asked Sango.

Kagome smiled proudly and said, "Yup! I need to talk with you and Miroku for a minute."

Kagome explained the situation of her friends from the future. Sango just smiled, Miroku got a lecherous grin.

Kagome glared at him before his hentai thoughts could start. "Don't even think about asking them THE question Miroku, unless you want to get up close and personal with my new best friend, the bottom of my boot."

Sango glared at Miroku and said, "We will help your friends Kagome-chan. But we will come and visit when we can. We won't tell Inuyasha about any of this."

Kagome sensed Souta was approaching so she said she would be right back. She dashed to Souta and changed his shape to human. He grumbled but she ignored him.

After introducing them to each other, Sango and Miroku said goodbye and set off for Kaede's village.

After hearing Souta whine for a few minutes, Kagome changed him back to youkai form.

Kagome walked to her room and brought Souta with her. She told him to stay inside the castle, not to go in any rooms except the library or the garden, and stay away from the double doors at the end of the hall. She was taking a bath.

After her bath, Kagome looked for Sesshoumaru, she had changed into a kimono and was sniffing the air. He was in his study.

Kagome dragged Souta away from his Gameboy and hauled him behind her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshoumaru heard the sounds of a struggle down the hallway and raised an eyebrow. He listened.

"..Souta!...will you just..ARRRRGH!!! Souta! EEEEP!! Leggo of me tail!"

".. Kagome! I can walk you know! Put me down and I'll let go of your tail. NOW! Ouch! That hurt! My tail is attached you know!"

Sesshoumaru cracked a small, amused, smile, but banished the look in an instant. Gradually, the struggling sound retreated and he heard a knock on his door.

"Come in." He said in a monotone voice.

Kagome came in with an annoying smile on her face, dragging behind her, a very annoyed Souta. Souta growled at Kagome and she dropped his tail.

"Okay! Okay! Sheesh! Down boy!" she said in an exasperated tone.

She turned to Sesshoumaru and said, "Sesshoumaru, this is my, *tugs Souta so he is in front of her* brother, Souta. Somehow he was turned into a youkai yesterday. Don't ask me how. Would it be alright if he stayed in the room next to mine?" (In my fic, Souta and Rin are about the same age. But Rin isn't as educated as Souta.)

Sesshoumaru studied Souta for a minute. 'Hmmm. this child seems to have no fear of me. Not very smart.' "Yes he may."

Kagome gave him a fake cheerful smile and said, "Arigatou Sesshoumaru- sama! I'll go introduce him to Rin and Shippou before they go to bed. Ja ne!" They bowed and left, Souta glancing back at Sesshoumaru with a curious look in his eyes.

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed. 'That boys aura seems familiar.'

He got up from his desk and followed Kagome and Souta.

Kagome went to the gardens where she knew Rin was playing.

Kagome introduced Rin to Souta, and, unlike herself, Rin was shy towards him!

Kagome watched with amusement as Rin kept looking at Souta's wings until she gave in to the temptation and felt them.

Rin giggled.

Souta blushed.

"Souta-chan's wings don't feel like nee-chan's wings. They are smoother and sharper! Rin has a new friend! YAY!" Rin bounced around in circles saying over and over in a sing-song voice, "Rin has a new friend, Rin has a new friend--"

Kagome was getting dizzy watching Rin, and she could tell Souta was too.

"Rin! It's time for bed. No buts now come on!"

After putting Rin to bed, and Souta going to bed, Kagome went to the dojo to relieve some stress. She got a pile of throwing daggers from a room near the back of the dojo. She walked to one end of the dojo and set the pile of daggers on the ground next to her. She picked up about six and put herself in the correct stance.

Kagome let one dagger fly.

It hit the opposite wall.

She did that until she had no daggers left.

She created a bunch of pink balloon creatures and had them float quickly around the dojo.

Kagome threw a fireball at one and incinerated it.

She clawed another one to ribbons.

She tore another apart with telekinesis.

The rest of them she threw fireballs at.

Unfortunately, the last fireball missed.

It hit the wall of the dojo.

Kagome quickly extinguished the fire she had made with a blast of water from her hands.

'Good thing this place is made of stone. I am soooo dead. Look at the size of that scorch mark! I.am.toast.'

"I believe you need to work on your aim." Said a deep voice from the doorway.

Kagome mentally groaned at hearing Sesshoumaru's voice and then she sweatdropped.

"Ehehehe.sorry about that. I guess I could use a little more practice."

He raised an eyebrow and looked pointedly at the huge scorch mark.

Kagome huffed and said, "Okay! A lot of practice. Still, gomen nasai for, ummm, damaging your wall."

Sesshoumaru studied her for a second and then gave a curt nod. "You should go to sleep. Tomorrow I will be training you AND your brother. You will get up at dawn."

Kagome nodded and walked to her room.

When she got there, she moved Shippou over and plopped down on her bed and went to sleep.

Sesshoumaru sat in his bed, staring at the ceiling, his thoughts on a certain demon in his house. Souta.
